So who's the jackass here? You leave your garage door open and the fob to your vette either in the car or next to it.???????

Exactly what I thought -
Leaving your garage door open is one thing, leaving the FOB either in the car or nearby is a bone-headed move.

My next thought was: I am willing to bet this is a automatic car.

I’ll give her credit - if you’re going to steal something, make it worth the effort.

Most likely it was a C6 ZR1 not a current C7 version.

Article implied LEOs had a, problem, catching her even if she was drunk.
Imagine being in her head waking up in the slammer: 'WTF I did whaaa...'

C6. They had difficulty stopping her without putting others in danger.
